Tied this probably 2 months back and just thought some may want to see it. I kind of like it myself.
American Possum that is.

LOL Seeing them on the road I thought aboutem awhile back lol...I have gotten some coyote and fox that way lol...
Thanks guys!
LOL, No I bought a pound of skin/hair and next will do some with Aussy Possum with is not straight hair at all. I just love the color of the off white and shinny hair with dark tips so thought it would work well. I tell you a pound of this is a lot. Rev not going to ever have any of the meat from a possum or at least that is the plan, LOL!
Notice the shinny hair too and all natural.

Skip the thing I like most about American Opossum is that the fine hair is translucent . I works great and can be dyed very easy. Have tied many a yellow perch jig with that hair. Your jig is great, nicely done. Might have to tie up some myself. I have two skins that I picked up as road kill and have them cured in the freezer. Have to do something with them. You guys sure know how to occupy my time.

Nice jig!!!! It's easy to tie with, but I find you have to get the underfur out first, but that underfur makes some real nice dubbing!!!
Nice Skip.I was going to ask if that was before or after the cooking pot, but someone already has. That would work well here.
Fatman use the short hair it has more action you will be surprised. Don't want to open a can of worms with the dyeing thing again. but this is a under rated tying material if there ever was one.

the opossum hair looks great skip as we have caught hundreds of those when I was trapping I do like the possibility of dying that hair so you may have a brown or dark tips I think that would be awesome to try that out if I move back down to the valley I will trap some possums and tried that.
